Wait, I assume the genetic condition was missed until after the 22nd loss, or doctors neglected to tell her?
Surely no one would know “I have a near certain chance my babies will die, either before or not long after birth, so let’s go through that *twenty two times* before calling it a day”?
Dunno, talking about one or two miscarriages shouldn’t be stigmatised, but 22 when you have 2 other kids is a bit weird
I can’t imagine what 22 failed pregnancies would do to a woman’s body.
I don’t mean to be facetious but surely it cant be that much of a taboo if you rush off the media to disclose something very personal to the world. Most people just tell close family.
If she knew they would have this genetic condition and continued so many times…then her and the man involved are evil.
So much preventable suffering when only a small effort is required. Hiding behind cultural pressures is pathetic too.
And from a purely selfish POV, the cost to the taxpayer would be enormous.
Maybe if cousing-fucking was a bit more taboo, we wouldn’t have this problem.
Why would you keep trying after the third loss let alone twenty two.
